Diet Dilemma

I must stop eating Snickers
I can’t fit in my knickers
Have less food on my plate
Won’t moan about my weight

Good one, Jan! BTY, I would capitalize Snickers as a brand name. Also there may be a typo - Dilema is spelled Dilemma, I think. Cheers, Roy

This must be quite a dilemma for you Jan! It's not an easy choice. But I heard say that dark chocolate might solve the problem. Nothing to lose by giving it a try:) gl in contest. // paul
